1945 Mercury Dime Last Year Mercury Design VG-VF condition

The 1945 Mercury Dime is a sought-after coin among collectors because it is the last year the design was used before it was replaced by the Roosevelt Dime. The coin features a portrait of Liberty wearing a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, and a laurel wreath indicating victory and achievement. The reverse side of the coin showcases a fasces, a bundle of sticks signifying strength through unity. The 1945 Mercury Dime was minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, with the latter two being highly prized among collectors due to their lower mintages.
